Today students presented their sections from the geology jigsaw. We learned about how fossils are made, how scientists use radioactive dating and the relative age of rocks. There was some confusion on how radioactive dating works, so if you're interested, you can check out this article, or watch this basic video on Carbon-14, or this more advanced video.
On Monday we don't meet because you get to go to Gardaland! Tuesday will be our last class, as promised, we'll watch an episode of Human Planet and have a few treats. If you would like to bring in something for the class, feel free, but no nuts :)
